BPL Southern History (and BGS) Featured on “Good Day Alabama”

BPL Southern History was featured this morning (3/23/2011) on “Good Day Alabama” on Fox6 in Birmingham. Ben Petersen, Head of the Collection, and Mary Beth Newbill gave information about the department’s collection. Ben invited BGS and BAAGSG to do a segment with Jeh Jeh from “Good Day Alabama” during the time allotted. If you saw it, both John Lanier (BAAGSG) and me (Melissa Hogan) will be signing autographs… just kidding!!

I would like to thank Ben Petersen and the folks at BPL for giving us a venue to promote both BGS and BAAGSG.
